Just as we outgrow a pair of trousers, we outgrow acquaintances, libraries, principles, etc., at times before they're worn out and times — and this is the worst of all — before we have new ones.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.
The men leaned back on their heels, put their hands in their trouser-pockets, and proclaimed their views with the booming profundity of a prosperous male repeating a thoroughly hackneyed statement about a matter of which he knows nothing whatever. ~ Ch. 8
Lewis, Sinclair
No one can write a best seller by trying to. He must write with complete sincerity; the clich?s that make you laugh, the hackneyed characters, the well-worn situations, the commonplace story that excites your derision, seem neither hackneyed, well worn nor commonplace to him. The conclusion is obvious: you cannot write anything that will convince unless you are yourself convinced. The best seller sells because he writes with his heart's blood.
W. Somerset Maugham
The principle of procrastinated rape is said to be the ruling one in all the great bestsellers.
V. S. Pritchett
Distorting hackneyed words in hackneyed songs He turns revolt into a style, prolongs The impulse to a habit of the time.
Gunn, Thom
Values provide perspective in the best of times and worst.
Garfield, Charles A.
The time has come for all good men to rise above principle.
Huey Long
Principles aren't of much account anyway, except at election time. After that you hang them up to let them season.
Twain, Mark
If you want to understand democracy, spend less time in the library with Plato and more time in the buses with people.
Strunsky, Simeon
There are times when I think that the ideal library is composed solely of reference books. They are like understanding friends-always ready to change the subject when you have had enough of this or that.
Adams, J. Donald
